I guess Britt is winning the four way and they do the long overdue Hayter face turn on Britt to set that up as a title feud.

Though I feel like they should just make Jade double champ.
 
I just don't understand why Wardlow or FTR are not defending their belts at All Out.

Also what is the main event for All Out now? Page? They do a quick MJF return and build?

She said in an interview she was stepping down as champ due to injury but then said the ppv match would be for an interim title, so not sure what the injury is or severity

maybe they just like having interim champs on the roster

Interim champions is generally what they do in combat sports, so I get it. I guess it’s to do something different than everyone else does and it gives them options like here where they need a title match but don’t have the champion and don’t want to have to vacate titles if they’re only going to be out a few weeks or something. And upon return, doing a unification sounds better to promote.
 
Maybe their back was against the wall, but even if I squint I have a hard time looking at that match and liking it. Granted, I find Moxley's schtick a bit tiresome, even when I enjoy his work, so I have a bit of a bias, but I just don't like pulling the rug out from under the audience like that, especially without a real path I can see to justify it - even if Punk can't go, I think I'd have taken a different route.
 
quite frankly, the only true thing I like that they have been booking this PPV cycle is Christian Cage vs. Jungle Boy.
 
Watching on pvr. Late in the Dax match Taz says something, JR agrees then says what sounds like "you're right Pete" Sure enough Taz's real name is Peter. It's not like it's the worst thing in the world but I'm not sure where that line is between the pros and cons of letting him continue to commentate. His recent yo and listen during The Acclaimed segments is annoying too.

You are assuming Wardlow gets by Ryan Nemeth on rampage or next dynamite or whenever that one is.

I feel like he has called Excalibur by his real name a time or two as well, don't remember the name or when tho

I think it’s easier to do that on TV in the middle of the show than on the main event of a PPV. Especially when you promoted the match on one week’s notice.

Oh it definitely is, if they were backed into a corner better now then main event of All Out. I don't think it would have went over well if they did it there

I assume something will get added next week. Just no idea what and it's going to be a really short build.

This definitely isn't ideal

It’s Moxley, don’t need a long build. Most of the biggest matches they’ve done haven’t needed it.
 
Fantastic dynamite. Dont really understand the Punk squash unless he wasnt ready to come back and came back only to bolster ratings temporarily
and push Mox further (great promo btw). That main event was just BANANAS. Love the Elite coming out at the end, so pumped Kenny's back. These last few weeks of Dynamite have been great, now just get MJF back in the mix...

No, I just prefer my pro wrestling to include pro wrestlers, not guys doing stupid gimmicks like Orange Cassidy who make a mockery of it, and the Best friends get lumped in with them. Moxley is a lousy wrestler who throws terrible punches and elbows and just does little for me.

Give me guys like FTR, MJF, Punk, Danielson, Claudio, the Acclaimed, and Wardlow

To be fair, everybody loves The Acclaimed. They willed it into existence. They kept telling us we loved them.
